Deb Caletti, a National Book Award finalist, says this book is "one of the most touching, irresistible and feel-good road trips I've been on in a long while." Amy's dad has recently been killed in a car accident while Amy was driving and she feels she's responsible. Her twin brother, Charlie, is in rehab, and her mother has moved to Connecticut for a new job. She has arranged for a friend's son, Roger, to drive Amy from California to Connecticut. She has planned the itinerary and made reservations...but...Amy & Roger take an epic detour. This is a great cross-country tour. Touching on sites, foods, and experiences - including, unfortunatelyy, pre-marital sex - across the U.S. I, too, enjoyed this book! Amy's notes, receipts, and pictures add greatly to the text.
